Speaking on the occasion Amit Nandi, President, Probiking at Bajaj Auto Ltd. said "KTMs are always about high performance, edgy design and a thrilling ride. The 125 Duke will be the new stepping stone into the KTM brand for riders starting out in the world of racing".

At present, it is one of the most powerful and promises to be a fun-to-ride motorcycle in the 125 cc segment in India. Of course, a buyer in this particular segment is more concerned with fuel efficiency and comfortable ergonomics over power and performance, but for those who are looking to buy a performance-oriented 125 cc ride, this could be the perfect buy. Of course, it remains to be seen how many buyers the KTM 125 Duke gets at a price point of Rs. 1.18 lakh (ex-showroom, Delhi). As of now, it is the most affordable motorcycle from KTM and also the least powerful.
